Public Star Party

Public Star Party

September 30th, 2017 2:00pm - 9:45pm

Free public star parties are held monthly with the assistance of the Los Angeles Astronomical Society, the Los Angeles Sidewalk Astronomers and The Planetary Society at the Griffith Observatory from 2:00 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. They are a chance for the whole family to look at the sun, moon, visible planets, and other objects, to try out a variety of telescopes, and to talk to knowledgeable amateur astronomers about the sky and their equipment.

Please be aware that the astronomers and telescope demonstrators must cut off the line for each telescope to enable all viewing to be completed by 9:45 p.m. Hours for telescope operation are not the same as for the building (which closes at 10:00 p.m.).

Friends Of The Observatory (FOTO) is a non-profit membership organization established to support and promote Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, California. Friends are people like you who value the Observatory for its importance to education, science and public astronomy.
